Recipe for Hallo "weenies"

As summer comes to an end and cooler weather becomes a reality, it’s time to start planning the annual Halloween BOO-ffet. And while there are dozens of great main dishes that are quick, easy, and perfect for fall, why not try something new? These scrumptious Hallo“weenies” contain enough spice and garlic to keep any number of vampires and assorted ghouls at bay, and since hotdogs are a popular new food trend, you’ll be right in style serving them to lucky guests. Minimal ingredients, minimal hands-on time, and minimal cost make Hallo“weenies” a perfect choice for busy cooks everywhere who would rather spend time on something more exciting than cooking. This recipe is versatile, too, and can be made with anything from plain old frankfurter-type hot dogs to fancier ones like Polish sausage (a favorite), or those trendy designer sausages – any type that fits nicely in a fresh bun. Warehouse stores have several varieties of “big dogs” which are perfect for this recipe.
Not only is this recipe easy, it is cooked in the versatile slow cooker with no supervision, and can be made a few days ahead of the BOO-ffet. Any leftover sauce is great with breadsticks.
